I reeeallly wish I would have read the content warnings about this one before starting because I def would not have picked it up. That's what I get for just picking up another book straight from the library's (virtual) shelves instead of perusing reviews first. 

The premise is good - there's an unknown reason for why she asks for an annulment and she shortly thereafter she runs off to India. Fast forward a few years and he is sent to find her and bring her back to London because her father's health is failing. The problem for me:
both of the characters creep on the other while they sleep! Even if it's implied that the other person is enjoying the acts... this is not my cup o' tea.
